Looking at the time stamps this looks more like some sort of file history problem in Windows. Have you investigated this?

Hi Paul, I don't really know what I can do to investigate this but I do know I don't have this problem with any other file type or programme... And like I said, it's the same on my previous desktop and on my laptop.

I don't now why only Trados Studio is affected but I would be surprised if this the problem here. However... stranger things have happened!  The only thing I can think that "might" be misbehaving due to some other conflict on your machine would be the AuutoSave.  Try turning it off:

Otherwise I'd look at this sort of thing and see if you can exclude the folders you use for your projects:

I also don't know if this is exactly your problem... just guessing.  But I think it's worth looking at any software you are running that could be the cause of backups being created.  OneDrive is also known to do this sort of thing, but I read it adds the computer name to the end and not a random number as you have.  So perhaps it has something to do with that?

Trying again...

Hi Paul
Thanks for your suggestions. I don't like disabling Autosave but I'll try it anyway. As for back-up software, I don't use OneDrive but I do have a Synology NAS system. Maybe that's the culprit? I'll look into it. Thanks again for your help.
